The Sounds Your Car Makes Can Tell You a Lot about What’s Going on Under the Hood. Lately, I haven’t been writing much. But, the stuff I’ve been writing about has been about stuff that I’ve really, really liked. But, every once and a while, I like to write things that are actually useful. You may (or may not) remember my post on “How much is my car worth...

1982 Lancia Zagato takes the place of the little red racer from Atari’s Pole Position I’m back. And, so is TickTickVroom.com. It’s been a while since my last post. I took a bit of time off from the site. But, now I’m back to hunting and pecking on my keyboard with a new take for TTV. This site has been a combo of news, reviews and editorial junk for the past few...

In our continuing effort to be moderately helpful, here is the TickTickVroom list of best sedans for 2015.

What’s my car worth after a car accident? This isn’t the sort of thing I normally write. But, apart from our usual car reviews and watch news, I thought I’d write something that’s actually useful. When I talk to people about TickTickVroom, there are a couple of questions that crop up in the conversation… What car should I buy? What’s a good watch? I have this watch, what do you think...

I got to thinking about the 10 weirdest production cars. I spend a lot of time talking about the most beautiful, powerful and incredible examples of automotive design and engineering on this site. From limited edition Bugatti Veyrons to classic Jaguar XKEs to the latest offering from Mercedes-AMG, there are cars that boggle the mind in terms of their sheer brilliance. But, then there’s the other side of the coin…...

UPDATE: The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has the unbelievable performance we were hoping for. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph passes in blink at 2.95 seconds. Quarter-mile is even more impressive at 10.95 seconds. These times are for a Z06 with the 8-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet pulled the wraps from the eagerly [read: impatiently] awaited 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 a few months ago in Detroit and the equally spec’d...

Last January Toyota unveiled a bright red concept car. That car was the Toyota FT-1, which is destined to become the new Toyota Supra. That car was gorgeous, but it was, without a doubt a concept far, far, far from production. Now, in Monterey, California during the McCall’s Motorworks Revival (part of the Pebble Beach hootenanny), Toyota rolled out a new graphite-painted version of the FT-1 (aka New Supra). With its...

This is the MINI Superleggera Vision. And, it looks like the MINI Coupe everyone was hoping for when MINI announced they were making a two-door, two-seater a few years back. Unfortunately, it isn’t headed to production. The MINI Superleggera Vision concept car is, just that, a concept designed to show off beautiful one-off coachwork craftsmanship for MINI for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2014 on Lake Como in...
